AI adoption boosting digital transformation
IFS is welcoming telco leader Belinda Finch as the company’s new Chief Information Officer.

Before Three, she held senior leadership roles at Centrica, Vodafone, Accenture and KPMG.
Finch’s leadership values have been recognised with accolades such as Women in Tech Excellence Awards 2022, CIO of the Year Finalist and MVNO’s World Congress Woman of the Year Awards 2023, as well as being highlighted through Mobile Magazine.
She is joining IFS to oversee the continuation of the company’s digital transformation journey and work with the executive leadership team to maximise the adoption of AI across the entire organisation, driving productivity and effectiveness as the company strives to deliver an outstanding customer experience.
Innovative approaches that anticipate customer needs
Max Roberts is also joining IFS as Chief Operating Officer, where he will work with the executive and wider leadership teams to develop IFS’s longer-term strategic products and services portfolios and develop the company’s strategic alliances and partnerships.
Priorities will be aligned to continuing to drive innovation that not only meets customers’ needs, but also anticipates and responds to market demand, and delivers sustained revenue and margin growth for IFS. Roberts will take responsibility for IFS’s Industry, Service Management and Enterprise Asset Management business units, and support IFS global sales and customer success teams in customer engagements.
His career spans over 25 years in the technology sector and specifically the enterprise software space where he held a wide variety of leadership positions at Oracle, Salesforce, and Stripe. He has also been a non-executive director of UK Finance.
